Thesis:
Digital Representation devices are not the cause of human suffering but the unskillful way human use these device.
Argument1:
Through out time humans has created forms of digital devices that date back to our own imagination. As a humans is born the imagination creates the same sensation that today's digital devices are used. The imagination gives off our internal emotions affected by the world around us. As time continued humans developed different types of devices to share with others and to give them the same sensation o emotions. Each person continues to manipulate these emotions they create to try and control the same emotions that other humans have and make categories of good and bad emotions. They document these different types of emotions in stories and books which leads to digital devices of today. The humans choose to use these devices to cause humans suffering and to learn how to control others to their own will. It is an endless chain of controlling others to their own gains. Parents use it to keep their children in line and to give them restriction and to feed them different things of good or bad.
Time-line→ development of these devices after dinosaurs.
leads one after another connecting to how things relates and think similarly.
Argument2:
Parents are a big part of this world and they "feed" the children of whats right and wrong. How children should think about things and to make this world to their own advantage by following others to the path of digital. Each adult would want lead their child but not fall far from the tree of corporation. Each humans are said to be similar and they will follow the next big thing from books to computers to cellphones to the future. Each human care for gain and as they follow each other and not thinking of what they are doing. They will all just follow and find themselves unable to find a reason why.
Feed→ Adults falling into the abyss with the children and only thinking of themselves.
The feed adult don't do anything about the rapidly changing world. They jut follow what new and progress with humans like lave talking with no privacy and
Argument3:
Bad is good→ The different types of technology serves as limits that the humans has created for other humans
Argument4...:
Etc→ unknown and need to think of more arguments

Vincent,
ReplyDeleteI like the general topic of your essay. It seems different from the rest. Your thesis is a little bit confusing though. "Digital Representation devices are not the cause of human suffering but the wielders and creators of these devices." The last part was confusing. Are you trying to say that DRDs aren't the cause of human suffering but instead the root of the problem remains in the humans who have create these devices?
I like how you date back to the earlier days of representations of reality.
Another main thing I see in your outline is your idea of how devices have come to control our emotions. How does this happen? You should give some examples while writing your essay to clarify that topic.
For your second argument, maybe your opposing argument can be about parents that actually try to encourage their children to think for themselves and make their own decisions. And you can use Violet's father as an example.
I don't really understand your third argument. I got the impression that Bad is Good for you is more of a positive outlook into the digital world rather than telling us that "different types of technology serves as limits that the humans has created for other humans." I don't know. Maybe I'm interpreting your argument wrong?
Anyway, I think your topic overall is really different and I like the overly critical feel to it. Hope you make something really good out of it. Looking forward to reading it and maybe it'll clarify the stuff I'm confused about now.
